I have copied and pasted and email with link to the website below.
This campaign has been raised against the biggest in the history of The US land grub to be executed by federal government. Let's help to stop it the best we can. Please act, sign the petition!

Dear Off-road Riders,

Two minutes of your time is urgently needed to preserve access to your public lands. In a last minute move the newly elected Congress may vote as early as next week without adequate public input on Omnibus Land Bill S22. This massive land grab bill that will lock up millions of additional acres of public land, close thousands of miles of recreation trails, harm already struggling rural economies, further reduce renewable resource harvesting, be detrimental to forest health by eliminating all forest management, restrict property rights and hamstring energy exploration in the United States. Click the link below & your letter will be sent directly to the decision makers. Please take a few minutes to help convince them to vote against the S.22 Land Grab Act.

If there were awards for bad legislation this bill might take first, second & third, but unless more people speak up it is likely to pass. Please take two minutes to submit a pre drafted letter to legislators opposing this bill.
Thanks to the thousands who have already submitted their letters, but letters are still needed from those who have not yet written. If you are not sure if you have taken action please submit a letter, the program will tell you if you already sent a letter.

Please share this email with your lists and post it on blogs.

~Thanks your friends at www.SaveTheTrails.us

The Sunday vote by the senate was a vote on "cloture" .... ending further discussion on the bill. The bill should be going to the whole senate floor later this week.....still time to contact your senator.

Ride on

You can probably build a 100,000 acres homestead and ride all day long somewhere in russia, and nobody will know, and even if they do, most likely nobody cares. Do they still have an official government?

Well, if tree huggers completely ruin this country for us, I will be trading my dirt bikes and Jeep for a Big Boat!
